Reply #10: Please note this ... SCAM site [View All]

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

Sites like UNCF are regularly attacked by third parties attempting to inject malicious code that could in turn be transferred to visitors to the site. Google doesn't "block" the site. Their algorithms used for searching for this sort of the thing detect it and insert a warning into the search result.

Please place blame where it belongs, with seething racists or other malcontents who have somehow managed to cobble together enough brain power to learn how to crack systems and screw with them.

Also note, two javascript applets are *currently* embedded in the uncf.org main page from Russian domains. That shouldn't be there. I may try to figure out what they do tomorrow when I have the time and energy to boot up my disease factory drive that I use for this sort of thing.

Scripts trying to run are from dsg5.ru and nudk.ru

OnEdit: Before you go around blaming people and finding things reprehensible, do a little research.

OnSecondEdit: Both those URLs resolve to a site that calls itself (through the nifty graphics on the page) cash-transfers.com, but cash-transfers.com doesn't exist.

ThirdEdit: According to the Australian government's website on scams, Cash-Transfers.com, which supposedly has headquarters in New York but for some reasons has Russian URLs, is an employment scam website that attempts to get your financial information and talk you out of several thousand dollars.

So, all in all, I'd say Google's warning, until the UNCF gets those scripts off there, is valid.

Okay, so I wasn't as tired as I thought, and this didn't take nearly as long as I suspected it would.
